Subject: Analysis options available in Chessbase engines

Hi

Got Shredder 6 a few weeks back, and have been using it to annotate my club
games. It has a variety of analysis options, of which I though "Full Analysis"
would be the most flexible. I was however disappointed at the level of detail
given in the "Full Analysis" annotations. The annotations I got have been
limited to !'s and ?'s for good and dumb moves, with alternative variations
given restricted to only 2 or 3 moves per variation. This is simply not good
enough. Sometimes the reason I missed something, is because the alternative
winning variation takes 6 or 7 moves to reach its logical conclusion. But
Shredder won't give the variations down to moves 6 or 7 in this mode, so it is
rather useless.

To my surprise I have found the "Blunder check" analysis option more useful, as
it gives the full analysis line that the computer has found.

I am curious what other Chessbase Engine owners use to annotate their own games
with. Any tips?

Thanks
Jaco
